As a seasoned international consultant with over two decades of cross-functional experience, I specialize in cybersecurity, intelligence analysis, renewable energy strategy, and public sector advisory. My career spans senior roles in government and defense, academia, and corporate communications, with a strong focus on actionable insights, strategic leadership, and cross-border collaboration.From my early days as a U.S. Army Sergeant to advising Gulf-region governments and lecturing in business schools, I bring a unique combination of operational expertise, academic rigor, and visionary consulting. I’ve successfully advised ministries, developed cybersecurity protocols, built data-driven strategies for public services, and coached executive teams across the UAE and the United States.
